Notorious Scots paedophile changes identity and advertises as dog walker after jail release
Connor Tait, 32, now goes by the name of 'Connie Duncan' and has been spotted sporting a feminine look by residents in Dundee. A paedophile who sexually assaulted an 11-year-old boy as he walked home has changed his identity after being released from prison. Connor Tait, 32, hid in a bush and pounced on the child who was walking home from football training in Menzieshill, Dundee, in 2013. The predator, who had two previous convictions for sexual offences against young boys, was sentenced to four years behind bars and a further four years of supervision for the depraved attack. In 2015 he had six months cut from his sentence on appeal after the original conviction was quashed and replaced with a more limited one. He went on to serve more time in prison for trashing his cell while on remand and since being released from jail in 2023 has changed his identity - using the name 'Connie Duncan' - while advertising himself on social media as a cleaner and dog walker. Concerned locals say he has been spotted several times in recent weeks sporting a feminine look while out in Dundee. A source told the Record: "Connor Tait is a dangerous individual. I've seen him dressed as a woman several times in Dundee since his release from prison. "He has changed his name to 'Connie Duncan' but make no mistake this is the same Connor Tait who molested a young boy. Locals deserve to know that this predator is marching our streets under a new identity - he is a danger to children and other members of the public." In a Facebook profile, which has since been deleted, Tait shared images of himself pouting in photos with long hair and wearing makeup. Another source said: "This is not the type of individual you want to be opening the door to and letting into your house. I saw him just two months ago on Byron Street and his presence is chilling, even under a new look. "People need to be aware that he is out and about." Another local added: "It disgusts me that this predator is back on the streets. He had Facebook for a while and seems to have changed his name to 'Connie', but behind this facade is a dangerous beast. "He is highly dangerous and disturbed yet appears to roam as free as a bird." Dundee Sheriff Court heard how Tait pounced on his terrified young victim and a friend as they played outside a grassy verge near their home during the school holidays. The victim's friend managed to escape and alert his parents. Police traced Tait within three hours, and he claimed he had been home watching Hollyoaks at the time. A judge told then 22-year-old Tait: 'You were convicted after trial of one of the most horrible crimes I have had to deal with in the course of almost 20 years of sitting here.' Six years later Tait was arrested after being accused of telling an eight-year-old girl to put a plastic bag over her head. He went on trial accused of behaving in a threatening and abusive manner against the girl while she played at a park in the city in May 2021. The court heard the paedophile was accused of telling her: "How about you put this bag over your head, it'll get you home." The case collapsed due to a lack of evidence and Tait was cleared in February 2023. He had been on remand since his arrest in 2021 and was jailed for a further eight years after trashing his cell and trying to hit a prison guard at HMP Perth in 2022. A post on UK Database - a database of British paedophiles - reads: "A sex predator with a sexual preference of boys aged under 13 has been released back to Dundee and is now masquerading as someone called 'Connie Duncan'. "The sex predator was classed as 'highly dangerous' and 'disturbed' by a judge. His new identity has been shared on forums across the UK that warn women and children of dangerous men." Alba MSP Ash Regan said the Scottish Government must review policy for the release of sex offenders who go on to assume a new identity. She said: "This case underlines a deeply troubling reality that when sexual offenders can change their identity without proper safeguards, the public is put at risk. "If a convicted paedophile can simply adopt a new identity and begin advertising services to enter people's homes, then the system is broken. 'We have Disclosure Scotland for organisations to check criminal records, but the government must act urgently to review policy for the release of sexual offenders to ensure that identity change processes do not provide a back door for dangerous individuals to bypass scrutiny. "We need robust checks and transparency to prevent offenders from reinventing themselves to disassociate from their offending history. "This isn't a matter of privacy but of public protection. Parents and vulnerable individuals deserve to know who they are allowing into their lives. Any loophole could have devastating consequences to children and vulnerable adults that the government has a duty to safeguard." A Scottish Government spokesperson said: 'Following release from prison, all Registered Sex Offenders in the community are managed under Multi Agency Public Protection Arrangements (MAPPA) and are subject to the Sex Offender Notification Requirements, which are robustly policed. "Sex offender notification requirements apply to the individual irrespective of what name they use or identity they present as, and where a registered sex offender changes name they must let the police know within three days or they breach their notification requirements. "Swift action is taken by the police in the minority of cases that do not comply, with those in breach facing penalties of up to five years in prison.'

Bibby Stockholm asylum seeker's chilling words before sexually assaulting teenage girl
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN ASYLUM seeker on the Bibby Stockholm sexually assaulted a teen girl after saying "I've never been this close to a white woman". Moffat Konofilia, who travelled 10,000 miles from the Solomon Islands, tried to kiss the terrified 17-year-old as she sat on Weymouth seafront in Dorset. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 The migrant told the girl he was on holiday, when he was housed on the Bibby Stockholm barge moored at nearby Portland Credit: BNPS The ex-footballer, 48, told her he was on holiday - but in fact he lived on the controversial migrant barge moored at nearby Portland. The girl said Konofilia commented on the colour of her skin and said he had 'never been this close to a white woman' which made her feel uncomfortable. She began secretly recording their conversation and was heard saying 'no, no' as Konofilia tried to kiss her on the mouth before apologising. The victim left to walk home and Konofilia tried to follow her but she managed to lose him down an alleyway. After the sexual assault the girl called a friend crying and asked them to meet her. She reported the incident to police the next day. The migrant, who had played for Solomon Islands national team, said he had taken the bus into the Dorset seaside town and bought beers to drink on the beach 'as he often did'. When interviewed by police he said the girl told him she was 18 and that he wanted to help her. He claimed he had not kissed her but had put an arm around her to comfort her and she had pulled away. He denied kissing her or following her when she left. Konofilia was found guilty of one count of sexual assault by magistrates in Poole. Shock moment cops DRIVE INTO protester while under siege from yobs as chaos erupts over small boat migrant 'sex assault' Sentencing was adjourned for reports and he was released on bail. He now lives at Quadrant Hall in Coventry, a former university halls that was converted to house 100 asylum seekers. Although he speaks English, he said his first language is Pijin, a common language in the Solomon Islands. At a previous court hearing he said he had two interviews for his asylum claim which depended on the outcome of this case. The Solomon Islands are the seventh furthest country from the UK and there are currently no specific visas for Solomon Islanders to enter the UK to seek asylum. Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea are the primary destinations for asylum seekers from the Solomon Islands.

Miracle as cat survives horror noose attack by teen thug smashing the family pet against a wall THREE times
TABBY cat Marshall is on the mend after being swung around in a noose and repeatedly smashed into a wall by a thug. A doorbell camera caught Henry Newey, 18, dragging the ginger moggie by a rope tied around its neck. 3 3 3 The cruel lout was then seen swinging the pet three times into the side of a house. Newey was shown on the footage calmly walking away following the attack at 6am on Thursday. Marshall vanished before returning home in Basingstoke, Hants, at 1am on Friday — gasping for breath and with rope still around his throat. The cat was taken to a vet and given painkillers for bruising and swelling, but amazingly X-rays found no broken bones. A GoFundMe page set up by Marshall's owner Sarah Keeling, who had no pet insurance, has already raised almost £4,000. Any money left over will go to animal charities. Sarah, a mum who is eight months pregnant, wrote: 'As a family we have been overwhelmed by the support. "I have a very happy eight-year-old girl who has her little friend back.' Hampshire Police said: 'We are pleased to report the cat has received treatment and has since returned home with its owners.' Newey, of Basingstoke, was remanded on conditional bail at Southampton magistrates' court on Saturday after admitting causing unnecessary suffering to a protected animal. He will be sentenced in September.
